The Fall

Oh the luxury of innocence!
Oh the simple happiness of naivety!
Such is the joy of a child,
And such will we never taste again.

The world has changed,
Compelling us to reform as well.
Forcing us to leave behind,
The precious simplicity of youth.

Opening our eyes to a world,
A world of sorrow,
Of pain,
Of death.

But promising a light,
A light to dry our tears,
A light to bring hope to our heart.
To soften the shock,
Of a fallen world.

Oh the luxury of innocence!
Oh the simple happiness of naivety!
Such is the joy of a child,
And such will we never taste again.
